A script to install a minimal GNOME on a minimal Fedora Everything install

fedora-gnome-minimal.sh

#!/bin/bash

# This is a script that will install a minimal GNOME on a minimal Fedora Everything install
# This script was made for Fedora 38
# 1. Get the Fedora Everything ISO: https://alt.fedoraproject.org/
# 2. When installing select "Minimal install" where you select software.

# Install curl to download and run this script trough that, or just copy paste the lines

# Let's make dnf a little bit faster first
echo 'fastestmirror=1' | sudo tee -a /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
echo 'max_parallel_downloads=10' | sudo tee -a /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
echo 'deltarpm=true' | sudo tee -a /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
sudo dnf update

# You could even go more minimal GNOME than this, but why would you want to?
sudo dnf install gnome-shell gnome-console nautilus gnome-text-editor xdg-user-dirs xdg-user-dirs-gtk flatpak bash-completion tar bzip2 -y

# Add the flatpak repo
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

# Enable gdm
sudo systemctl enable gdm
sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target

# Then all you have to do is to install any extra packages or drivers that you need and reboot
# Note that flatpak will need a reboot before you install any apps from flathub
# If you run this script in a VM you may want to install the kernel-devel package as well
